Your filter would reduce the number of posts to 2141 posts by 966 users from 5033 posts by 3298 users.

I think we should just be able to filter out what we want to ignore. So we just have tags on all types of posts we can use when we submit and when we sort by new we can filter out topics or search by topic. So if i dont want to see ai links anything people tag as ai wont pop up.

I see 45 minutes of submissions on the first page. This is fine. Learn to read better?
